Motorcycle Spare Parts only sell genuine spare parts made by each manufacturer. The Set Alternator part has been manufactured by BMW and is brand new and dispatched in its original packaging.
The OEM replacement part in discussion is a Set Alternator, specifically manufactured for certain models of the BMW automotive brand. The part number designated by the manufacturer for this component is 12318558421.
The Set Alternator's primary purpose is to convert the mechanical energy produced by the engine into electrical energy. This conversion is crucial for charging the car's battery, which in turn powers various features of the vehicle, from the ignition system to the electronic comforts and amenities.
The alternator is a vital component in the electrical system of the vehicle, and is comprised of three main parts: a magnetic field, a set of conductors (wound in coils to form an armature), and a commutator. These components work together to generate the electrical energy needed for the vehicle.
Alternators are typically driven by the engine's serpentine belt and rotate anywhere from 5,000 to 15,000 RPMs depending on engine speed. As a component, it is usually located near the front of the engine and is cooled by the fan.
The Set Alternator is designed with precision to fit seamlessly into the specific BMW models. Like all mechanical components, alternators can wear down over time and need replacing, leading to the need for such OEM parts.
As with any original equipment manufacturer (OEM) part, this Set Alternator is designed to match the fit, visual appeal, and performance of the original component. The installation process of this part should ideally mirror that of the component it's replacing, thus allowing for an efficient and manageable replacement process.
With such OEM replacements like the Set Alternator, drivers of BMW models can ensure the long-term health and smooth running of their vehicle's electrical systems. Regular checks on your alternator's health can help prevent sudden breakdowns and help maintain the comfort and convenience of your vehicle's electrical features.
